SUPERLATIVE PIZZA! As soon as I arrived, I mentioned that I was celiac, and the staff's response was "you will eat one of the best gluten-free pizzas." My expectations were raised and... the pizza was truly fantastic! Excellent dough (not the usual ready-made base), cooked in the restaurant's oven and not in the standard one for other pizzas. I had the Etnea (i.e., the margherita). A very wide variety of toppings (only 4/5 are not orderable gluten-free), they have gluten-free craft beer as well. A surcharge of 4 euros for gluten-free (in this case, considering the quality, acceptable). Make a reservation, the place is very popular and there’s a bit of a wait... For me, the pizza is second only to that of Sorbillo (Mergellina).

I should mention that my problem with gluten and lactose comes from the recent discovery of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The pizza, which was smaller than its reputation suggests, was definitely good and tasty, moderately seasoned. The main issue was the price, not of the pizza itself (it's known that prices are quite high almost everywhere now), but of everything else: - gluten-free €3.50 - lactose-free mozzarella €3.50 - addition of ham €3 At the time of ordering, I was only aware of the increased price for gluten-free, which was indicated on the menu. There were no indications for the lactose-free mozzarella; I asked if it was possible when ordering, and they said yes without telling me the cost (had I known beforehand, I would have just asked to leave it off, which in the end wouldn't have made much difference..); for the addition of the ham, setting aside the fact that on the website it was marked as €0, perhaps by mistake, I could have expected €1.50 or €2, definitely not an extra three euros. In short, the moral of the story is, on €10.50 for the pizza, I paid an additional €10 for modifications.. it seems they took advantage a bit too much.

great attention to gluten-free, the pizza was good.

I had high expectations, but the gummy dough, very small sizes compared to regular pizzas, and sky-high prices disappointed me a lot; I won't be going back!

I have visited many pizzerias for celiacs around Italy, and I can guarantee that the pizza they make here is astonishing! It looks like a normal gluten pizza, delicious both in toppings and in dough! I also did the 'next day test' and it was still amazing! I recommend it to all celiacs.

Dovete assolutamente andare Al Vicolo perché non è il classico locale, ma è un posto "in" dove si mangia benissimo e si può bere, frequentato da tantissima e bella gente. Personale accogliente, cortese e veloce nel servizio. Musica disco con dj e fotografo. Menù vastissimo ci sono taglieri, secondi, insalate, gluten free. Se scegliete la pizza non so se riuscirete a mangiarla tutta, dato che le pizze sono enormi (escono fuori dal piatto) ma sottili e si possono scegliere vari impasti. Consiglio di prenotare in largo anticipo soprattutto durante il weekend. All'interno il locale è piccolino, ma c'e anche l'esterno che è grande. Si può andare anche solo per bere e ballare dopo cena. Prezzi leggermente alti, ma ci può stare essendo un locale chic e collocato al centro storico di Catania.

Pur avendo prenotato, abbiamo aspettato 45 minuti oltre l'orario che mi avevano indicato, una volta seduti però il servizio è stato celere anche se parecchio frenetico ed impersonale. La location potrebbe essere sfruttata meglio, per quanto concerne la pizza è troppo grande e con uno spessore importante, praticamente è impossibile mangiarla per una sola persona. La qualità è buona ma non esiste in menù qualcosa che tenga conto di chi ha delle intolleranze, la mozzarella è presente ovunque. Esperienza fatta una volta ma che non credo ripeterò.

Piccola pizzeria della centralissima Catania, si presenta informale e curata ma non caratterizzata da dettagli d'arredo particolari che restano impressi in mente! Il menu' offre una buona scelta di pizze (...anche senza glutine) specificando vari prodotti d.o.p!! Le pizze si presentano ben condite, buona la cottura e di "grande dimensioni" che consiglierei di dividerla in 2! Lo staff offre un servizio veloce e i camerieri sn molto cortesi! I costi sono leggermenti un po' alti rispetto alla media! Si consiglia di prenotar il tavolo uno o due giorni prima se si desidera pranzare o cenare per evitar "lunghe attese" (noi abbiamo scelto uno dei 2 orari disponibili per il pranzo)! Ottima la preparazione dei cocktail. Consigliato!
